You have got to listen to this video. Father Z got it from P.P. of Blackfen and I must share it with you. You should share it with those you love.
Thanks for posting this. I'm featuring this video on my site tomorrow with a link to yours. Arinze is great. We all need somebody like him for a confessor. People are dying for truth in the Church.

Man no longer feels any need to be saved. The loss of the sense of salvation is the consequence of the loss of the transcendence of God.” (From The Day Is Now Far Spent) Father Thomas Dubay "God gives prayer growth precisely according to our degree of readiness for it.

(From Mother Angelica on God, His Home, and His Angels ) PAUSE AND PONDER: Where do I seek to satiate my hunger for joy: in the people and material things of this world or in seeking an intimate spiritual relationship with the God who offers me eternal joy?

May these periodic postings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month (God willing) generate fruitful discussion and faithful change. I recently read a short but interesting article written by Father Michael Orsi. It is entitled How Same-Sex Marriage Won . You can read his article here at Catholic Exchange . As I am wont to do, I simply passed it along to several social media sites with the same question I posed in today's post. That's all I did. What a stir it created.
